Sociology is the study of social human behavior;
in particular the way people interact, organize, and take action.
The discipline provides students with a strong analytical and
theoretical background and skills to work with and understand
people.
One of the major areas of study within the discipline of sociology is criminology. Criminology is the scientific study of crime and criminal behavior. Criminology examines the cause, extent, and types of crime in society, as well as crime prevention. Many students participate in internships in
nonprofit and governmental agencies throughout the Cleveland
Metropolitan Area. Graduates have gone into many careers: to
law and criminal justice, social work and counseling, public
health and nonprofit administration, education and business,
as well as sociology and anthropology.
